Labour day is the cut-off day, as Easter is the start of wearing white shoes and white pants. As a child in Holland we would ask mom if we could wear our white shoes, (No white pants as we only wore dressen then) Mom would ask; "Have you seen others wearing white shoes yet?" "Oh yes" we would lie, "many" "Okay than you can too". The biggest crime you could commit was if you would be the first, that just was not done. The logic that someone, somewhere, had to start did not enter my mothers mind. Just don't ever be the first. How silly all this was. Viva la freedom................wave Jenny

Micheal, Neither do big girls wear dresses much. I think we are lazy as you also need to wear nylons But I have to agree when I do wear a dress, I feel more feminen Jenny
